Applying Standby Power for Initial Service Processor Configuration

Use this procedure to apply standby power to the service processor (SP) before initial configuration.

Caution – Do not operate the server without all fans, component heatsinks, air baffles, and the cover installed. Severe damage to server components can occur if operated without adequate cooling mechanisms.

1.Connect grounded AC power cords to the AC power connectors on the back panel of the server and to grounded AC power outlets.

In standby power mode, the Power/OK LED on the front panel flashes, indicating that the SP is working. See FIGURE 1-13or FIGURE 1-14for the LED location.

Note – At this point, standby power is supplied only to the Graphics Redirect and Service Processor (GRASP) board and power supply fans. You can proceed to Chapter 2 to begin initial configuration. Do not apply main power to the rest of the server until you are ready to install a platform operating system.

2.Continue with initial software setup tasks, as described in Chapter 2.
